In fact, it's a new bar adjacent to the restaurant that's called Anthony's Elbow Room.

This is the bar space that housed Quigley's Tavern until a year or so ago, and before that, back in the day, was The Elbow Room.

Anthony Manicone, the "Anthony" in both places, has been busy so far in 2011. He renovated the Pasta Bar restaurant space this summer, giving it a more upscale look to go along with his Italian-oriented menu, and added a back dining room (in space that had been the pool-table room in the former Quigley's).

The new addition cleans up and reopens the neighboring bar, which has a doorway linking it to the restaurant.

The new Elbow Room offers beer and wine, and Manicone is working to secure a full bar license, which he expects any day now.

The bar has its own kitchen and pub menu, featuring burgers, wings, wraps and such. "It's not just pub food; we pay attention to it, so it's going to be quality," Manicone said.

You can also order from the restaurant menu during its regular hours.

"If you want a burger, and your date wants chicken riggies, we can take care of you," Manicone said.
